I really like the idea of going back and doing the army you really wanted as a kid, colour scheme and all. Not worrying if it is a good army but just recapturing that imagination and love for the models you had as a child.

[@drazdarksilver]

I agree. I really wish I could go back and repaint my Vampire Counts army... :(

[@Daniel_D_King]

Il be doing this in the new year. I couldn't afford grey knights. They were all metal at the time. And I was a poor. Now my kids are staring 40k I'm getting me the grey knights when they relaunch

[@mike1hav]

100%. I've literally got back into the hobby by digging out my old collection and finishing everything off. Luckily I was very lazy and didn't finish a lot of models haha. I have a few unpainted and a few I've stripped down also. My passion is back. I will be buying new ones as soon as I can haha. Also, looking at all my old models and remembering bits where I converted or has plans is really nice

[@RickardLejonhjarta]

hah imagine finishing an army

[@VulpineFTW]

...nearly 3 years, and I'm still not done

[@Nissenov]

1 and a half year, and I am not even done with my friends Mordheim possessed warband 😢 Sadly, It is not even because I have painted anything else instead, I just don't have the time atm....

[@L3GHO5T]

I started in 2019 still working on the same army that I started with though I’ve worked on painting stuff from a couple other army’s I’ve collected but I’ve yet to finish a full box of models yet unless it’s a single character. Should have a painted 2k army in the next 2 decades or so

[@Cole-j1j]

Honestly, I used to have this problem but genuinely just forcing myself to only work on TWO things at a time, try to make them different types of models in some way, wether it’s a different colour scheme or a different unit type. Also not buying anything new until everything I had was painted was huge.

[@ChosenTripster01]

I'm not even finished getting an army >.< I'm only at like 680 points on my tau army it IS fully painted what I have at least >.

[@chillitz3667]

Honestly I rather see an army or mini that you guys as artists are happy and proud of over sticking to the 24h mark to the dot. I loved the passion Emil had on this project and I loved the results!

[@burgs6227]

Anyone else pause the video at Lukas’ free hand of the Emperor on a banner being carried by an Imperial Knight? Looks insaaaaane! Lukas = GOAT freehand.

[@andresperedo1275]

There is a video on the freehand already published

[@edpaintsminis]

Great fun! Such an engaging video - you made that 24hrs look like a breeze and didn't seem too conflicted when you made a decision to prioritise the minis. Good call and amazing results - love the resculpted abs and the bark on that treeman is terrific!!!

[@mattiasgamin3891]

Always hilarious that you think you’ll be able to get it finished in a 24 hour timeframe. However, it works great as a flying start for the project and great that you kept at it. The result is awesome. 👏👏👏

[@Madeingyna]

24 year old army, 24 hours, came out 24 minutes ago. Nice.

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

Win

[@rupertjones5197]

2024 too

[@Nikita_Brus]

Yeah, its hard to compromise the time spent painting the minis you love so dearly.

[@SheepdogMIP]

Orange and green dragon is the best scheme ever, really glad you pushed through to the end!

[@michaelsimmons9296]

Mustache!!!!! It comes, it goes, it's there , it's here, now it's no where!

[@B__C__]

Love the dragon. Puts me in mind of other 80's fantasy dragon art you might see in an old D&D Monster Manual.

[@russellspencer3214]

Good job on simplifying the paint job in order to get all the models painted in the allowed time frame.

[@timokoschig40]

Would love to see you guys painting your Oldhammer Ork army, please make It happen!

[@Gh0st713]

I second this.

[@Paranormal-Stupidity]

They all look amazing. I'm not surprised they took extra time to complete. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@danielpedersensevaride5928]

This was amazing, the Wood Elves were one of my favourite factions as a kid and that dragon is just so iconic. Cudos to you for finishing it all :)

[@JacinMaeron]

I'm rebasing and repainting my old dwarf army and I'm enjoying the journey a lot, I'm happy to know you abandoned the 24h challenge and just enjoyed the travel too ^^

[@rupertjones5197]

More fantasy and old world please! Any update on when you’re going to carry on with the fantasy board? Also cool muzzy dude

[@luke7834]

Lovely result, love to watch Emil paint, his style is so vibrant.

[@МакакуПстайцев]

This is beautiful army! Everything here have a soul and passion! Thank you!

[@salvadorevaldolavagninopap9777]

11:47 theres a hair there x'D ... all of them looking awesome!

[@peace2126]

I would like to ask for your experienced opinion using agitators on acrylic paints. Many opinions out there say to use stainless steel ball bearings yet others say no, due to the fact that these will only damage your acrylic paints when they rust inside. Other opinions suggest to use glass beads because they will not rust; but glass is sometimes not heavy enough as stainless steel to be a good agitator. Lastly, I have also come across others who suggest using volcanic rock beads as agitators because they are natural rock & will not damage acrylic paints. What are the best agitators You know of that will not damage acrylic paints? Your wisdom & advice is greatly appreciated James

[@brooksf-l7619]

Very cool to see an army of old sculpts painted up fresh with new techniques!

[@jansmid7030]

I love these 24h videos, funny and marvelous job on minies. Thank you for every video you make, love it with painting mine minies during watching :)

[@brandonfort782]

Thanks for your videos man! You keep me inspired to keep going! Appreciate you brotha!

[@LuckGod84]

Hats off to you for pushing through and finishing this one outside the 24 hours. The younger you would be proud!

[@itubei9315]

You're a beast, a legend! A legendary beast, beast of legend! Oh man, wood elves are my favorite Old World faction since I first learned about them

[@serpentine8124]

genuinely my favourite army of your yet

[@TheSpazztech]

Orange and green dragon looks great. Still love the old sculpts.

[@duardinranger1235]

Looks great! I’d love to see more old hammer painted.

[@wadeelphinstone4078]

hey Emil. personaly i think the dragon looks AMAZING! and the colour scheme is giving me huge dragon ball z vibes so in nostalge rates id say its top tier!

[@thecrownofcommand5830]

That was cool guys. Love seeing the old Wood Elves and happy for you to see you finally finish them after 24 years ❤

[@brendanflynn2965]

Nice looking army. Now you just need to get glade riders, the new war dancers, glade guard spears and Aleriel on her giant stag beetle. Then you will have a truely magnificent wood elf army. Who would thought these old minis would come up so beautifully huh?

[@U2QuoZepplin]

Luv those classic Wood Elf 🪵 miniatures. Scouring eBay for those old models is something I would love to do. But I think it's a little bit beyond me. Maybe I will have to settle for their nearest modern equivalent.

[@tzr]

“Good luck with that Emil” sounds exactly like a quote from Napoleon Dynamite’s “Your Mom went to college” - fantastic Lukas!

[@That_Rat_Bastrd]

Phenomenal work on gorgeous oldhammer

[@jonashenriksson2182]

Sweet! Really like what you did with those sculpted bases. I'm curious what people would have thought about this army in the 90s if it was sent back with a time machine. Mindblown by the volymetric painting or unimpressed with the natural colours?

[@richardflyger1110]

Interesting video. Do you think GW minis have changed over the years? If so how? Sizes have increased? More or less detail? More accurate sculptures? Only know HeroQuest models from back then and what they do today (recently returned to painting mini’s) blew me away - even how they put them together. Interested in your thoughts. Don’t think you needed to do this over 24 hours though, painting them and the difference in sculpture, palate challenges would’ve been enough. Looking forward to Luca’s video.

[@sebbychou]

I'm shocked at how good and somehow modern you made those old sculpt look

[@Grimprospect]

I really appreciate the time spent to show off the Grand Reveal!

[@andresperedo1275]

Emil, the wardancers are not finished. They are still missing the talismanic tattoos! I think two months is more than decent time span for the amount of minis and the painting level. Of course, if you want to use the army to play in old warhammer editions you need waaaaaay more minis, but that is OK

[@bigbadspacewolf4871]

Awesome! I really wanna see what this whole army looks like!

[@joegkushner]

Is there anything you'd have done differently to hasten the process if you had to do it again? Many of those older models like the war dancer and the archers don't have a lot of detail nor do they have a lot of accessories unlike many modern miniatures where pouches, belts, bags, skulls, and other bits are just clogging the miniature. It looks like most of the work you put into it was actual work as opposed to how someone like myself might just slapchop/zenithal and then contrast with maybe a highlight or two over those.

[@andreasladurner3577]

Amazing work as always🙌 Would be very interested in the way you model this rock bases. You use them a lot and very much love the looks of them. Could you maybe make a vid to that?

[@paullouis547]

Love the 24h hours marathoins guys, keep at it ! Would you guys consider doing an independant review of the the new army painter fanatic paint line ? Where I am only these and Citadel's are easily available, I want to know if they are any good :)

[@aldosuran6916]

As a friend taught me, an army is never finished.

[@Snacklord_Dennis]

Så jäkla tjusigt att se min gamla favoritarme i old-school färger men med en ny take i lite mer modern stil!

[@erks6849]

Getting the feeling that Emil has a Himalaya sized mountain pile of shame 😂 Great looking WHFB models! You should do more ToW 👍

[@ActualDragonTears]

What are your thoughts on the new GW price hikes? I saw that foot note at the bottom of the article about Sweden getting hit with a 12-14% increase and immediately thought of you and your local shops.

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

It's really ass

[@OrakelofDeath]

Oh... fourth Edition Sculpts. Exactly what I'm colleting at the Moment, to get an Vintage-Woodelf-Army which might be a little bit better Painted than I could Manage as a teen.

[@ElCid_1099]

I know sculpting has moved on and we can’t go back but I really love these old metal models.

[@redgrass]

Congratulations! Such amazing classic wood eves!

[@akutch564]

Love seeing the old minis.

[@brionl4741]

I had a fairly large collection of metal Skaven in the '90s. But I don't know what the heck happened to them, last time I saw them was probably late in the '00s. I've still got a large pile of plastic Skaven but they are mostly from Isle of Blood or later. Well, except for my metal Skaven Blood Bowl team from 2nd edition BB.

[@JoeKification]

You guys are awesome, keep up the good work!

[@tjwadsworth6967]

Wood elves were my real choice first after the initial bretons in the first boxset game. My dryads were da bomb!!

[@haydengittins2836]

Those Wardancers remind me of Slaine from the 2000AD comics, so they look awesome :)

[@HeroicPilotLOL]

A 1 minute challenge would be nice. paint the base coats in 1 minute stop wait for it to dry then add the shades in 1 minute, you have a max of 5minutes to finish in total paint time.

[@polygonalmasonary]

24 hours, hummm, where are those new contrast paints 🤣🇬🇧🙏♥️

[@jc7997aj]

On the store shelf. GW gets no more support. Everything Black Rock touches must fall.

[@tenchuu007]

You should try out Kings of War. The units are multibased, meaning you can put a dozen models on cool terrain on a big base instead of twenty little bases and removing models as wounds.

[@tjwadsworth6967]

Whoa Lukas that banner's freehand????!!!!! Youre crazy bruh holy freakun talent!!!

[@peterwalter3612]

everything looks so good ! congrats !!! :D

[@vytas5584]

It’s very inspiring. As a kid Ioved the clan Escher necromancy minis. Maybe I’ll finally go get them and make painting them my goal once I can actually paint 😂

[@Gumlass1]

Looks pretty great.

[@nikkicook4649]

The dragon looks fantastic! What game is that at 9:52, it looks so familiar but is too blurry to work out!

[@1glenngary]

Does the humidifier help the painting, or just the painters?

[@CoverofWinter]

It kinda helps the brushes not dry out so quickly

[@porcu12345]

I've recently finished my collection of oldhammer wood elves and started the task of painting them up.

Can you please do a tutorial on how to paint Wood Elves like you did? Maybe on your second channel if you don't think the video will do well enough on your main channel.

[@badfelix007]

dammmmmm it looks so cool! Congrats wow wow wow, superrrrrrr

[@permeus2nd]

So the answer is of course yes I mean anyone can (dose GW still have that silly rule of a model must have 3 couplers of paint to be used at their shops? As I saw one guy use a wall painting brush to get past that one, the scariest thing was it still looked better that some of the paint jobs I’ve seen some people do and be proud of😂) the much better question is can’t you make them look good in that time (I have no doubt you will). This is the first video I’ve seen of yours so I hope it leaves a good impression as the community is pretty much all GW has left after the last decade.

[@carlstanford7607]

[@KurtMifsudBonnici]

These videos are always fun and really well produced. Sadly for me, the level of painting is so high that is difficult to relate or connect to it given I'm nowhere close to it :( Anyway .. that's a nice army Emil!

[@marcoo5468]

Like your 24-hour videos. But I am not sure if I would be very happy with the rushed result. In comparison to a result made not in a hurry and most of rested condition.

[@CrimsonTemplar2]

Props for persevering

[@happihime4072]

I’m glad you took the extra time to make it look good instead of just making it playable as quickly as possible, that you stuck to the color scheme you would have wanted, and made it something your younger self would have only dreamed of accomplishing. It makes it clear that this is dedicated to your younger self instead of something you just crunched on. It looks amazing!

[@hamsterminator]

That's some dedication to the channel! This looked painful
